How to Make New Year’s Resolution Party Hats

New Year’s Eve is all about celebrating the past year and making resolutions for the year ahead. So what better activity to have at a party than creating chalkboard celebration hats to write your resolutions and wear them proudly? Here are three different options that you can print out and make for your party.Things You’ll Need

Step 1: Print, Cut and Write Resolutions
Print the cone head template, cut it out with scissors, trace it onto black construction paper or card stock and cut it out.

Have your guests think about and write down their resolutions or inspirations for the coming year onto the hat with chalk.Step 2: Embellish With Fringe
Cut out long strips of tissue paper about 3-inches wide in a variety of colors. Then, snip along the bottom half of the strips, about every 1/4 inch, to create fringe.
Roll the fringe, fluff the edges, and tape to the inside of the top of the hat.

Step 3: Roll and Tape the Hat
Roll the hat and tape it together, using the tab as an overlapping joint. Your hat is now complete and can be worn proudly!

Place glue along the bottom rim of the hat and sprinkle with glitter. Shake off the excess glitter into a bin and let dry completely.

These mini hats would be a fantastic accessory to any table, mantle, or bookshelf. Kids might also have a fun time putting them on stuffed animals or laughing at how small they look atop their heads!
